You have it pretty much backwards. The United States contributions to modern medical science are fueled by the huge profit potential in medical devices and pharmaceuticals. What slows deployment of new technology is
liability. New technologies are developed here, implemented in Europe then brought back across the pond after they have an established safety record.
